Summary: Made me feel clumsy and confused
Review: I bought this Crunch video with high expectations and was very dissappionted. The warm up is confusing, constantly adding more moves upon moves, and they don't even exercise to the beat of the music. It's bizarre to listen to music but not follow the beat. I will say that I definitely felt it in my muscles like I got a good workout, but I don't see myself ever using this video again. I want my workout to make me feel good about myself, this one just made me feel clumsy and confused.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Have good knees or prepare to suffer!
Review: I have tried several other Crunch video's in the past, and have loved them. This one, however, was a different story. The tape was very fast-paced, and the moves were difficult to get without being frusterated. I am sorry, but I don't love working out to begin with, and I do not need extra frusteration warding me away. I also noticed that there are several 'Jumping' moves that jarred my *young* knees to the point of pain. Maybe I do not have good 'jumping' form, however I do look to workout videos to set the user up for sucsess, not knee surgery!

Summary: Good solid beginner-intermediate cardio workout
Review: I think this is an enjoyable way to work-out at home, without signing up to costly gyms or buying expensive workout equipment.

If you are advanced, you may find that you will grow out of this video rather quickly. But if you are a beginner, or a moderately fit person, or getting into the workout scene just recently, this is the ideal tape for you. I am moderately fit, although not very strong, and I found that this helps work and strengthen my muscles, and fulfill that cardio work suggested by many fitness experts.

The instructor is fun and energetic - I enjoy watching her and working out alongside her instructions (upbeat and encouraging, not overbearing or intrusive). The group in the background is also pleasant and friendly looking, the music is non-intrusive and enjoyable. The instructor takes you through exercise that work your whole body, esp the abs at the end, brings up your heart rate and allows you to cool down all in 35-40 minutes - I enjoy it alot and really wish there was an additional 5-10 minutes (that's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5)

The additional 10 minute bun workout video is also fun and effective.

Summary: I love it!!
Review: I think this is one of the best workout tapes!! I saw results in less than a week (i did the work out 3x). And this is a short video, which i think is perfect. I have a young son and he sits on my bed and plays for a half hour while i work out. It's just long enough. It also works the entire body. This is good video.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SUPER!
Review: I think this video is fabulous!!! You can really feel your muscles getting worked out to the fullest. You only need weighs and start moving!! At the end, you will be really sweating, but will want to do more!!!. The instructor and the music are really nice! You actually enjoy working out your whole body!

Summary: Crunch - Cardio sculpt: The body sculpting fat burner blast
Review: I think this video is great!!! It is fast paced using various types of weights. After viewing it a couple of times I was able to follow the entire tape. You can really feel your muscles getting worked out to the fullest.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: You'd better be able to dance
Review: I'm not a very coordinated person, but I've had good luck with Crunch workouts in the past. After one minute I could no longer keep up with what they were doing. The choreography gets complicated pretty quick. If this is ok with you then buy the dvd. If you are clumsy like me, skip it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good muscle/cardio blend
Review: My only grievance is that I wish the workout was longer! Though it might not seem like there's a whole lot of cardio, you can accomplish a good bit in 30 min - it's all in how hard you push yourself. The instruction is good, the routines/intervals well designed, and by increasing the amount of weight you can really get your heartrate going. Perhaps there is not as much cardio challenge as I would like, so I combine this workout with another 30 min one. Definitely a worthwhile addition to your exercise library!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good
Review: Pleasant instructor, with an Ausie type accent (if your a guy and you like that kind of thing, she's also an attractive brunette) Not over powering workout. I do this work out regularly. The only thing I didn't like about it is that they call it "Cardio sculpt". Which is fine, but I didn't find much cardio in it, which was what I was really looking for. Have a light and a heavy set of weights for this, it makes it more challenging. (which she mentions in the begining)
